would seem to me that warp would have control over what
nothing was to release and that it would most likely be in
their best interest to have THEIR release of it be unique with the
extra track. and as everyone spouts off of how cheap nothing is
because this extra track isn't present, anyone think about how cheap
THEY might be waiting the extra time for a domestic release instead
of themselves dishing out the few extra bucks to get the warp release.

you get what you pay for so stop the crying
